Lugging around a handbag filled to the brim with four shades of that mahogany bronzer, nine matte lip liners that seem to all fall in the same colour spectrum of pink, and piling at the bottom of the handbag, a cluster of old crusted mascaras that have not seen the light of day, is definitely an indicator to get your everyday makeup life in check. One of the biggest makeup faux pas that the everyday woman does, is putting on a full face of makeup in the morning, however, not taking all the products that were used with them throughout the day. By only touching up the light layer of powder or just the bronzer on your cheeks, can create the appearance of an uneven or blotchy skin tone, deeming a “touch up” ineffective. This being said, try opting on the smaller bottle of foundation or a small brush collection, so when you are on the way from work to dinner you look just as fresh as you did in the morning. Obviously every woman’s makeup routine varies due to different skin tones and bone structures. Nevertheless, here is a list of essentials that can be carried in your handbag throughout the day.

Napoleon Perdis Powder/Blush brush
By choosing a simple brush that can be used for powder, bronzer and highlighting minimizes clutter in your bag. Just remember to flick of the excess before starting on the next powder.
